Article: FREE THE CABLE BOX

`THESE CABLE bills are outrageous," our friend said, "and the stuff that is on some of them! I've got two teenage girls, and I wouldn't want them to watch a lot of it."

Comcast, the nation's largest cable television company, just unveiled a new 16-channel Family Tier that might satisfy our friend's needs. So we showed him the channel lineup.

"The Weather Channel is good, and so is CNN Headline news, and I like it that they've cut out MTV. But a lot of it is geared for little kids. Who needs Toon Disney? And I like to watch the Red Sox, but that's NESN, and how about the other news channels? Can't I get them added on?"
